So, I already knew that JLed was coming out with the Smash figure, but I had no clue about the Candy version. Imagine my surprise when I checked the ol’ gmail and saw a pink Smash staring at me. I’m pretty much in love. I wanna’ get both of ‘em, but at $75-a-pop I won’t [...]

We still don’t have personal jet packs and meals in a pill aren’t totally here yet, the future is still way off but now we can at least print pixel pictures on our slices of bread! This nifty device prints 12×12 pixel art chosen randomly from its memory chip on your toasts so you can [...]

Back in the day we posted up the gamer badge of honor from Supermandolini and today we’re pleased to announced that one of our favorite online boutiques is offering even more retro freshness– this time, it’s coasters. My favorites are the Soft Sector floppies, but the Golden Track race track set is mighty fancy as [...]

Fact #1: Gloomy Bear = Pretty Awesome.
Fact #2: Gloomy Hats = Also Pretty Awesome.
I’m probably going to buy a big Gloomy Bear and a Hat just so I can re-create the lovely pictures above to display on my toy shelf. And maybe wear the hat to the office and see what people say. Or not. [...]

I figured this was coming, just didn’t know when, but they’re porting Resident Evil Zero over to Wii. Though not as big of a hit as RE4 was, if any fans missed out on this title due to not owning a Gamecube be sure to check this one out. Like the RE4 Wii port you’ll [...]

Dear Mr. Gee,
Please stop making customs for, like… a week or so. I’m pretty sure your fans are running out of money. I even met a guy who knows a guy who banged a chick who knows a dude that rented his wife’s b-hole out on the streets so that he could get money for [...]

Jesus Louise Parker!!!! Etsyer, Beatboxtaun just got phat paid by some rich-ass fanboy who must have a thing for scarves and the greatest boxing game of all time. The scarf is a one-of-a-kind, so I could see how it could be worth it for some folks. I’m loving Tyson’s grill. I’d kind of like to [...]

Godammit, Sony! First you announce probably the best console bundle known to man right after I spend my income tax check on a PS3, and now Kotaku says that this fantastic God of War PSP after I spent my Christmas money and a shiny, silver PSP 2000.
Stinky rat bastards. This is pure shenanigans and poppycockery.
Sort [...]

Holy Jebus Sony Gaming Update News Batman. As the title says a lot of Sony news and announcements have been going on the past few days so I wanted to cap some highlights fans should be expecting.
Not a big “shock” (geddit?) to anyone really but, Dualshock 3 is dated for April 15th. What’s so special [...]

Comeback Kid. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
Back in the day there was a fantastic indie 12-issue miniseries from AiT-PlanetLar about super-powered young people dealing with the tragedy of their gifts. Each of the 12 issues was a stand-alone story revolving around a different character or set of characters and focused on how they dealt with their powers [...]

One game that I haven’t heard any hype about is coming out tomorrow, Lost: Via Domus. Personally, I think it looks siiiiiiick, then again I’m a huge LOST fan so if a game called “building a raft with Sawyer and Jin super-happy-fun-time” came out, I’d probably get it.
In an effort to be related to the [...]

I figured I’d post this because brownkidd is looking to get a new TV with his tax monies. So why not go all out with a 150″ Plasma so you can rock your PS3 like a champ? Though it’ll probably be over $70,000 (good game), Panasonic is upgrading it’s “smaller” 103″ that came out last [...]

We have a returning artist featured today for Munny Monday. If you recall the Voodoo Frankenstein then you’ll know who I’m talking about. Riccardo’s first custom commission work is featured today and it speaks for itself. I’ve always been pretty big in the WWII era and we don’t see a lot of customs from that [...]

This model is probably old for many papercrafters out there, but nevertheless this is so awesome that we need to remind everyone of its existence. It’d be hard for me to tell you which Studio Ghibli film is my favorite, but My Neighbor Totoro is certainly number one or two in my list.
The picture above [...]

This is Fez, a game made by the Kokoromi Collective which won the award for Excellence In Visual Art at this year Independent Games Festival. I’m very happy for the gang at Kokoromi, particularly since they’re based in my home turf; Montreal. It’s not like Crush or Super Paper Mario where the gameplay switches from [...]
